WP: "What is your most beloved room in your home and why?"
Christian: "This has to be the living room. I have been fortunate enough to have collected quite a few pieces of art over the years. Ranging from inexpensive, sentimental pieces to a few larger works by emerging artist. When designing this apartment, I knew I wanted to create a quirky flat with art on every wall, and the living room is the mother ship of all rooms. We’ve taken art up over the picture rail, pairing a wide range of mediums, and I find it’s the room that keeps on giving. Always something new to look at as you navigate the space, and the high ceilings and good proportions of this space mean that we’ve been able to cram in quite a bit."
